The fluorescent lights in the lecture hall hum a dull, sterile song, bleaching the scattered notebooks and empty chairs. You're bent over your own notes, fingers tracing the lines of last week's lecture, when a sudden, sharp pull on your hair jerks your head back.

He's already moving, but his eyes linger on you for a heartbeat too long. What does he see, you?
